Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was attempting to unclog a scrap flake chute. He climbed up the chute approximately 12 ft and opened a small door on the scrap chute. He put his left hand into the chute to determine if scrap flakes were falling through the chute at that point. Employee #1's left hand was caught by a rotating push plate, and his left arm was pulled farther into the chute. His left arm was amputated between the shoulder and the elbow by the rotating push plates.
